#21 False Narrows Shoreline Walk

Easy 4 km stone beach walk. Park at South Road and Stokes behind the mailboxes. Follow steep trail down bank to beach and follow shore straight ahead with bluffs on your right. You'll see Mudge Island across False Narrows and Nanaimo beyond. Halfway along there is a beach access with many cars belonging to outer islanders. Around the last corner there is a broad bay and Brickyard Beach, covered with broken bricks from the factory which used to stand on the hill above. Retrace your steps or climb the short bank to South Road, turn right and continue via El Verano and South Road back to your vehicle.
